Profile:

After waiting for a chance to play for England for some time, Dominic Cork burst on to the scene in 1995. A match-winning 7/43 at Lord's on his debut against the West Indies was followed by a spectacular hat-trick at Old Trafford in the same series. His bowling is hostile, and he is an enthusiastic cricketer in all aspects of the game. His strength is in his ability to move the ball late, and he has encountered problems when he forgoes this movement for speed and bounce. He enjoys appealing rather more than his opponents would like, but often with success. His batting has not proved as reliable as his bowling, but he can score runs quickly on his day.

Beset by personal problems, Cork was left out of the England touring side to the West Indies in 1997-98, but made a succesful return against South Africa in 1998. He was made captain of Derbyshire in 1998, and had a good season, displaying his newly found maturity. Picked for the 1999 Ashes tour, he found himself out of form, and out of the England World Cup squad.

Cork made a triumphant return to the England side in 2000, playing a vital role in a thrilling victory over the West Indies at Lord's. He took 4/39 off 24 overs in the first innings and 3/13 in the second as the visitors crumbled to 54 all out. With only 188 required for victory, England were struggling until Cork assumed responsibility and hit an unbeaten 33 to steer the side home by two wickets and level the series. He finished the series with 20 wickets as England won 3-1.

Frustration followed for Cork, first in the form of a back injury that forced him home early from the winter tour of Pakistan, and kept him out of cricket for the rest of the winter. Although he returned to the England side for the home series against Pakistan, he appeared to have lost some of his zip, and found wickets harder to come by. He made just one appearance in the Ashes series before being discarded, and there was no place for him in any of England's winter touring squads. He was in and out of the England team in 2002, managing three wickets against Sri Lanka in the first Test at Lord's, and four more in two Tests against India, adding a half century at number seven in the final Test at The Oval. He also played, without much success, in both England's matches in the ICC Champions Trophy. (Copyright CricInfo October 2002)
